Release Orcas from SeaWorld/Stop kidnapping of wild orcas for entertainment

The Issue

Sea world is an unethical organization that abuses their animals. They kidnap their animals from their mothers while they are young and bring them back to SeaWorld. This cruel practice began in late 1960s and has been continuing ever since. To train the animals they withhold food from them to make them listen, they isolate the animals from each other for weeks at a time. The tanks are small and filled with bleach so the animals' eyes are damaged. The food that they are fed are dead fish which is damaging to their stomachs' because they are hunter; they are supposed to eat live food that they catch. These terrible conditions are leading to aggression from these animals which just causes the SeaWorld staff to torture them more. Orcas in captivity die more rapidly than animals in the wild where they would have space and a healthy diet. SeaWorld is modern day slavery. African- Americans were freed from slavery so they found another option, the orcas. They are forced to do tricks, kept in cramp and  filthy tanks, starved to ensure cooperation.
